Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. January 20, 1908.

Patented Dec. 8, 1908.

Serial No. 411,694.

To all whom it 'may cof/wem.

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. MADLEM, a citizen of the United States,residing at Goshen, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, of whichthe followin is a specification.

My invention re ates to tobacco pipes and the object of my invention isto rovide a tobacco pi e which may be easiy manufactured an that at alow cost.

A further object of my invention is to pro vide a pipe as mentionedwhich shall be of neat appearance and one which may be readily andquickly cleaned.

y Other objects will appear hereinafter.

Vith these objects in view my invention consists generally in a ipe inwhich the bowl and that portion of t e stem which is usually formedintegrally therewith are formed of separate pieces of suitable materialand connected by a reed which serves the double purpose of a dowel-pinand a passageway connecting the parts. By constructing the pipe in thismanner, the two arts may be readil turned upon a lathe t us avoidingirregu ar turning as is necessary when these portions of the pipe areformed of one iece. The adjacent sides are then flattened orming faceswhich may be readily secured together by cementing or gluin and the reedwhich connects the parts as before mentioned holds them firmly together.Not only are the parts more readi y manufactured, but smal er pieces ofmaterial may be utilized in making them which in some instances willmaterially lessen the cost of the finished article. Further, byconstructing the pipe in this manner corn cob may be used in itsmanufacture which material is preferred by a great many, and the pipemay still be formed to present a neat or even artistic ap pearance.

My invention further consists in various details of construction andarrangements of parts all as will be hereinafter fully described andparticularly pointed out in the claims.

My invention will be more readily understood by reference to theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which;

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pi e embodying my invention in itspreferre form, Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof, Fig. 3 is aperspective view of the cleaner removed l from the pipe, and Fig. 4 is ahorizontal section of the device on the line x-w of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates the bowl of the pi e. This isformed of any suitable material ut I prefer the employment of corn cob.This is obviously circular in cross section when the cob is used but Iprefer the circular cross section whateverthe material may be. By makingthe bowl circular in ordinary lathe.

2 indicates the lower portion of the stem, that is, the portion which isusually formed integrally with the bowl. This is formed of a separateiece of material similar to that of which the bowl is formed and is alsopreferably turned in a lathe. It is obvious that by this constructionirregular turning such as is necessary with the ordinary one piece pipeis avoided. Also, that smaller pieces of material may be used inmanufacturing the pi e. When made of corn cob, which is.usua y.preferable, a pipe of neat appearance may be made by forming it of twoparts.k

4 indicates a reed extending horizontally through the portion, 2 andinto the bowl, 1 forming a dowel-pin, for securing the parts together.The reed also forms a passageway 4 connecting the bowl of the pipe withthe vertical duct 7 in the portion, 2, thereed being provided with theopenings or apertures, 5v and 6 for communicating with the bowl and ductrespectively. To more rigidly connect the portions, 1 and 2 their adjacent faces are flattened as at 1-2 and are glued or cemented together.The upper end of the duct, 7 is enlarged as at 7 to receive the end ofthe stem 8 which may be of any preferred or ordinary form.

9 indicates a metal sleeve or ferrule upon the upper end of the member,2.

1() indicates a cleaner arranged in the reed, 4 and closed at the outerend by a plug, 3. The cleaner is substantially tubular but is cut vawaythroughout the greater portion of its cross section it may be readilyturned in an length forming a trough like receptacle, 12 Y to receivethe nicotin wliioh collects therein. Depending from the outer end of thecleaner is a tongue, 11 which extends a slight distance below the bottomof the portion, 2 where it may be readily engaged to withdraw thecleaner from the reed.

It is obvious that the pipe herein described may-be easily manufacturedand at a very low cost, also that in using the pipe the CII smoke: willbe cooled before reaching the Irliouth and that the pipe may be readilykept c can.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent: is;

1. A pipe comprising the bowl and contiguous stem portions arrangedparallel with each other and abutting substantially throughout theirlength and a reed forming a dowel-pin connecting said portions and alsoforming a 1passageway connecting the saine, subst'antia y as described.

2. A pipe comprising the bowl and contiguous stem portions eachsubstantially circular in cross section and arranged parallel with eachother said portions abutting throughout their length and a reedconnecting said portions and forming a passageway between said bowl andstem portions, substantially as described.

3*. A pipe comprising a. bowl and contiguous stein portions. eachsubstantially circular in cross section and arranged parallel withV eachother,V the adjacent faces being flattened and cemented together, and areed extending horizontally through said portions connecting the saineand forming a passageway from the bowl to the stem, substantially asdescribed.

4. A pipe comprising a bowl. and contiguous. stem portion each formed ofa separate corn cob and suitably connected, a reed v forming a passageconnecting the neck and stem portion and aJ cleaner arranged within saidreed as and for the purpose set forth.

5. A pipe comprising a bowl and a contiguous stem portion each formed ofa corn cob and connected together at their lower ends by a reed, saidreed extending through the neck and into said bowl and a trough likecleaner arranged in the reed, and having a tongue at its outer end forremoving the same, substantially as described 6. A pipe comprising abowl and contiguous stemportion formed of corn cobs ci different sizesconnected together by glue and by a reed which extends out through thestem portion, said reed being provided with openings communicating withthe duct of the stem portion and bowlr a cleaner arranged in said reedformed of a tube having a. closed, end and a trough like portion, saidtrough like portion normally lying under the openings in the reed and atongue formed on the outer end of the cleaner for withdrawing the. same,substantially as described.

ln testimony whereof I have signed my name to this speeiiication in thepresence of' two subscribing witnesses,l
